We start by honoring school bus drivers and sharing our memories of riding the school bus on School Bus Driver Appreciation Day. Then we all know that math class gets quieter when students are confused and louder when they're thinking together. That's why we invited Marjorie Kucich and Sarah McKittrick to talk about station rotation in middle school math and how a smart rotation can turn a lesson into a room full of visible problem solving.We dig into what “stations” really means in this context, we talk through concrete classroom logistics, and how a small amount of movement can act like a reset button for attention and engagement. We also get specific about consolidation. If you're looking for practical station rotation ideas, middle school math engagement strategies, and routines that strengthen math discourse and classroom culture, you'll leave with steps you can try right away. Subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review telling us what station routine you want to test next.Send Joel and Misty a message!The More Math for More People Podcast is produced by CPM Educational Program.

Paul Murnane and Tanya Hansen have the morning's top local stories from the WCBS newsroom.

The All Local Morning for Saturday September 2nd, 2023

Chris Holman welcomes back Teri Sand, SHRM-CP, PHR, CBSP, CRP, Business Services Manager, Capital Area Michigan Works!, Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham Eaton, and Clinton Counties THEME: Job opportunities and challenges in transportation and auto manufacturing. Teri, welcome back, please discuss challenges in finding bus drivers, CATA hiring, and auto supplier demand in anticipation of MBN's September 12th Mobility & Talent panel featuring MICHauto? ● Many transportation companies in the Lansing region and beyond are seeking employees. ○ Companies are unable to keep up with the demand for truck drivers as they're unable to recruit, hire, and train fast enough. ■ Xavier Express and Willow Creek Farms Trucking have both been searching for Truck Drivers. ○ CATA (Capital Area Transportation Authority) has especially taken a hit to the bus driver, mechanic, and office worker shortages. ○ Dean Transportation recruiting for School Bus Drivers. ■ Teri, please discuss any recent trends you have been seeing in these industries along with how job seekers can find jobs with our Weekly Hot Jobs Report? ● Research supports that the auto manufacturing industry has fallen short of meeting demands. ○ According to Michigan State University supply chain faculty (No. 1 ranked supply chain department in the nation) the industry is struggling to keep up with demands due to the fact that the automotive industry operates on a just-in-time inventory management model. ■ Just-in-time inventory management model, How is that impacting this sector? Parts arrive hours or even minutes before they're put on the assembly line. Hence the name, parts arrive just-in-time to be used. ■ There are 30,000 parts in the average car. If you're missing one or a few of those parts, you can't build a car. ■ If you're not producing vehicles, which is what drives your revenue, you're eating into your profitability. Plus, you suddenly have inventory piling up that you don't have space for. ○ The problem with this model is that it has to function exactly as you designed it to. When these models start to break and fall apart, the repercussions are huge. (low supply, high demand) ○ Just-in-time inventory by its very nature also affects staff. Workers at the various automotive manufacturing suppliers must regularly adjust their schedules. The suppliers and their staff often get very little notice when a production is going to run late. That makes childcare, transportation, and basic work/life balance challenging. The UAW contracts, how does that fit into all this? ○ We won't know for a few months whether the UAW contract negotiations this Fall could impact any of this. Thanks, Teri, and thank you for getting our audience primed for the upcoming Speakers Series event ● Stay tuned for more information regarding MBN's September 12 Mobility Panel featuring MICHauto & MEDC, Time: 11:00 am to 1:30 pm ○ Location: Friendship Hall, Capital Region International Airport. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Many cities and towns across America have a problem finding people willing to be school bus drivers. It doesn't matter the size of the school system. Fewer people are eager to apply; the pay could be better; that's just one part of the problem. It's a thankless job. And in our divided political climate, it's a choice few people want to make...

Mom always said... There are twelve days of Christmas. And I think I have just made it in that timeframe! But this episode is not all about Christmas, or bus driving, for that matter. It never is. Driving distractions include those middle school kids, and those elementary runs, a few words regarding diesel mechanics (well, more than a few), inflatables, much deserved breaks for all of us, The Moth, the overall appeal of driving a school bus, and well, JOY. If you're still on your winter break—I hope you're having a good one.  Happy New Year!                                                                                                              ---Alexandra
